@Wouter, you would need to route the output of group E so that you can hear it in ableton

@saintjoe, I have another question.
On maschine i made loop. I used group E as send fx.
In this set up i don’t hear all the results of the fx in ableton when i plan an empty scene in Maschine (which i am doing so the midi is triggered from ableton to maschine)

Is it possible to app;y all the fx i’ve set up under 4 different pads in group E? So far i hear just one being applied.

@Wouter, sounds like you need to set your groups to respond to separate midi channels instead of leaving them all on the same one.

Hi Saint Joe,

thanks for the video, very helpful!
I have one problem with this setup which is annoying me, all my groups are routed and work like a charm when i have no armed tracks in ableton. As soon as i arm a track to record that groups midi, and i hit a pad. The midi is sent to all the groups in maschine which result in me hearing all the sample under that pad in all the groups.

How can i stop this behavior?

@John Citizen, sounds like you have something in Maschine recorded or playing on one of the groups.

it should have saved your settings in the plugin when you saved your ableton project.

@John Citizen, Oh, and when I stop the midi clip playing – the audio continues playing, and the channel strip in channel ’1 – Maschine’ is receiving a signal – even though there is no audio (or midi) in that channel, and no pattern seems to be playing in the Maschine plug-in interface itself.

Where is this ghost pattern coming from?! Its damn funky…but its not he one I recorded!

Ok, I got the sounds to trigger and record – so i recorded a basic funk break, with a kick, snare, ride, shaker and a hat.

It worked for a while, and I can see my pattern in the midi clip, but I have since quite Ableton, and reopened the file. My ‘Midi from’ settings and others on the Midi track have reverted back to the default.

I press play in Ableton, and the playhead moves across my midi clip, and a signal is showing in the midi track channel strip – BUT – a different pattern is playing than the one I recorded into the midi clip!!!

I’m just using one of the preset ‘Abbey Road’ kits – and it seems to maybe be playing one of the demo patterns from Maschine (I think ?????). Except when I look at my Maschine plug-in – there is no pattern playing!!!

Where is this extra pattern coming from? How can I preserve my initial pattern. I’m really confused now. Thanks for your help – it was rad to get it kinda working Joe!
